BRAC Cold Storage

A BRAC Social Enterprise

BRAC Cold Storage was established in 1980 in Dawodkandi, Comilla, to facilitate the storage of potatoes for farmers in the mid-eastern region of the country as the area yields a good harvest of potatoes but lacks adequate storage facilities. It was the first commercial BRAC enterprise that started its journey to provide better service with regards to maintaining the quality of the stored products.

The enterprise is currently operating a cold storage as well as an Ice plant facility in Dawodkandi, Comilla district with a capacity of 60,000 bags (4,000 metric tons) for short-term storage and offers farmers loans of up to 40% of the total value of the potatoes they have stored (currently increased up to 60%).
